Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 416 Changes in the sky
"Roar!!!"

The roar of the Dragon Emperor resounded throughout the ancient kingdom. In an instant, it hovered above the headquarters of the Demon Extermination Bureau. It could teleport to any place with a dragon vein. At that moment, the Dragon Emperor stared intently at the inhuman and ghostly First Ancient Emperor below. After sensing it, it confirmed that there was no mistake, this was its master!
"Your Majesty!!! How did you become like this?!"

The Dragon Emperor of Destiny was quite shocked by the first ancient emperor's projection of the Book of Gods, not understanding what the other party had gone through.

At the same time, Gao Zhao, Master Liu, and Master Gai, who were standing nearby, were stunned, almost losing their ability to think, staring in horror at the symbol of the ancient kingdom's destiny, the Dragon Emperor of Destiny, which had been sleeping for thousands of years!

The pressure from the Dragon Emperor of Destiny was impossible to fake, and the fluctuations of that top-level Dao Inquiry almost made Kong Xuan breathless.

They didn't hear wrong, did they...?

This Dragon Emperor of Destiny... actually referred to the old man summoned by Lin Jing as His Majesty the Ancient Emperor?

My true self?

But how could that be? How could the first ancient emperor only be at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm?!

But the Dragon Emperor of Destiny was enlightened by the first generation and was a comrade-in-arms who fought alongside the first ancient emperor. How could he mistake his master?

"As expected of the first ancient emperor..." Lin Jing pursed his lips, surprised that the other party had this trick up his sleeve.

The owner of the Divine Book can usually impose certain restrictions on the projected entity.

However, the First Ancient Emperor's foundation was too strong, so Lin Jing and the Mechanical Turtle could not forcibly control him, and he was also capable of breaking free from the Book of Gods and disappearing from the world at any time.

In that case, it's not a big deal; it just means that both parties have the ability to refuse each other.

But when Lin Jing saw that the first generation, in its projected form, actually had the ability to summon the Ancient Kingdom's Fortune Dragon Emperor, whose combat power was equivalent to that of the Dao Seeking Realm, he truly had to admit how impressive it was.

In other words, if someone with low cultivation and malicious intentions tries to control the First Ancient Emperor with the Book of Gods, the First Ancient Emperor can summon the Dragon Emperor of Destiny to humanely destroy him if he ignores the other party and forcibly dissipates.

That's really scary.

Luckily, I was polite.

This is not the cultivation level of the early stage of Nascent Soul, but clearly the cultivation level of an early stage Nascent Soul Dragon Master, who has bound a Dragon Emperor with the cultivation level of Asking the Dao!

Lin Jing stroked his chin and looked at Gai You, who was filled with fear.

"It's a long story." The First Ancient Emperor looked at the Dragon Emperor of Fortune, sighed, and said, "To be able to return in this form is already considered lucky!"

"Do me a favor and replenish the energy of this dragon vein. This kid is really wasting it." The first ancient emperor spoke up. Lin Jing had drained most of the dragon vein beneath the Demon Extermination Division. This dragon vein was also used to suppress demons. What if the demons imprisoned in the Demon Extermination Division escaped?

A moment after the arrival of the Dragon Emperor of Fortune, three more auras of seeking enlightenment descended.

Second-generation ancient emperor.

Lingdaozi, the ancestor of Lingdao Sect.

The former master of Tianji Tower arrived with the current master and the ancient prince.

Their gazes towards the First Ancient Emperor each held a different kind of shock. "You're all here," the First Ancient Emperor said, smacking his lips.

"Father?" The second-generation ancient emperor looked shocked. He was the second person, after the Dragon Emperor of Destiny, to confirm that the first-generation ancient emperor was not an imposter.

However, what he found hard to accept was that he sensed his father had actually passed away and returned in another way!
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?" The ancient prince was also very surprised, even a little confused. In other words, what Lord Gai had just relayed about the absurd remarks of the Holy Son of the Demon Court were all true.

“Your Majesty…” Ling Daozi and Qingniu Daoren also noticed that the First Generation’s condition was not right and did not understand what had happened to him!

"It seems you're all doing quite well," said the First Ancient Emperor. "Your perception is correct. I am dead. When I went to the starry sky to find the path to ascension, I encountered a near-immortal-level demon in the ascension passage and perished together with him."

"It's a pity, I was just a little short of successfully ascending."

Forest Realm, Pine Leaf Rat, Dragon Carp, Ice Soul Gu: ? ? ? ?

Weren't you killed by a meteorite? Where did the Heavenly Demon come from?

"Fortunately, this lad used the secret technique of the Immortal Palace, the 'Book of Divine Spirits,' to recall my traces. It's a stroke of luck amidst misfortune. Although this lad is the Holy Son of the Demon Court, considering that he was once a cultivator of the Ancient Kingdom and was willing to help me return to the Ancient Kingdom, it can be considered a meritorious deed. Second Generation, do I have any unmarried granddaughters?" The First Generation asked the Second Generation Ancient Emperor.

"No need." Lin Jing said coldly from the side, "I kindly let you return to the ancient kingdom, and you want me to act like a grandson?"

"Father..." The second-generation ancient emperor found it difficult to express his feelings, thinking that he would never see his father again in his lifetime.

The second-generation ancient emperor valued the ancient clan members and the father-son succession so much, so naturally he also valued his father, the emperor. It can be said that the reason why he was able to become the youngest Dao seeker in the Tianyuan Continent was inseparable from the careful guidance of the first-generation ancient emperor.

Seeing his father again after thousands of years, the second-generation ancient emperor was overwhelmed with emotions. Even his gaze toward Lin Jing had changed. He had been somewhat annoyed by the immortal body, but now he found it more pleasing.

After all, without Lin Jing, he and the first ancient emperor would truly be separated forever.

"Father, please return to the Ancient Realm for a discussion!" The second-generation Ancient Emperor felt that this place was not the right place for communication.

"Go back my ass." To his surprise, the first ancient emperor was completely unimpressed and looked at him with a disappointed expression.

"Take care of these matters first, then I'll go back with you." The first ancient emperor didn't give the second ancient emperor a friendly look at all, but instead looked at Gao Sheng. After understanding, Gao Sheng immediately took out the results of his "incognito visits" over the past few months with trembling hands.

After glancing at the events recorded in Gao Sheng's records, the Second Generation Ancient Emperor's expression darkened.

"Father, please let me explain."

"I won't listen. I've already dealt with what I could. As for what I couldn't, I've left it for you to handle. Now, let's deal with this kid's intentions first, and then we can talk things over slowly!" The First Ancient Emperor pointed at Lin Jing.

The second-generation ancient emperor took a deep breath, feeling a headache coming on. He looked at Liu Gongzhuo and said, "Liu Gongzhuo, refine your Heavenly Flame Gu back to its origin and hand it over to Lin Jing. Also, I'll give you one last task from the Demon Extermination Division: hand over the demons above the Nascent Soul stage that the Demon Extermination Division has suppressed, and have them dealt with by Lin Jing... After completing this task, you will no longer need to serve as the head of the Demon Extermination Division. Go to the imperial city and serve as a protector of the royal family."

"Yes, sir!" Liu Gongzhuo was shocked and immediately bowed in thanks. Although the position of the head of the Demon Extermination Division was prestigious and powerful, it was completely different from the position of the protector of the princes and princesses of the ancient clan. Although he was ordered to hand over the Heavenly Flame Gu, the compensation from the second-generation ancient emperor meant that he would be able to access the true power core of the ancient kingdom. If he remembered correctly, the magical treasures provided to the royal protectors were even quasi-immortal artifacts.

Logically speaking, this position should be held by a Kong Xuan from an ancient clan, or a Kong Xuan who has married into an ancient clan. What merit or ability does he possess?

As Director Liu was promoted, Director Gai You, standing beside him, watched the First Ancient Emperor's "great disciple" rise to power, his eyes vacant, his mind and body feeling as if they had fallen into an ice cave... What a joke... All of this... Was he just trying to arrest the First Ancient Emperor?
